Soul Calibur 6: THE SOUL STILL BURNS!

Immortal

Blind justice....
people are straight up disrespectful with some of the cheap shit in this game though, azwell's soul charge and his whole situation needs to be tuned down. when he activates soul charge he seems impossibly safe on everything.
It only looks that way but in fact he isn't safe on half of what most people do with him after SC. Played like dozen or more of Azwell players already since he is easy to pick up. He has some real shortcomings and struggle when you play a pressure character like Talim/Taki etc.

Sidenote - tracking on low attacks is amazing.

I play Raph, I don't have the luxury of good lows.

Holy crap, just learned Astaroth can cancel his 44B (unblockable) into any of his command grabs, including his advancing armored ones that track sidesteps...

I just landed a 27-hit combo with Xianghua by launching with 3B and then just spamming B... Did 176 damage. Works from mid-screen. I assume the opponent can maneuver in the air to escape.

Man, practicing against an AI set to constantly side-step is enough to give me vertigo...

And in case anyone else is having trouble with the abbreviations for moves, here is some info:

GI = Guard impact
CE = Critical Edge
RE = Reversal Edge
WS = While standing. As in, your character is standing up from a crouching position.
BA = Break attack. It's the lightning effect that usually gives advantage against blocking opponents.

Directions are:
789
456
123

So 1 is down/back. Quarter-circle-forward would be 236.

I love Aris!! No offense to people that are enjoying CAS but after messing around with it myself for a small amount of time I've come to the realization that it's not for me and I feel like I'm wasting my time with it when I could be learning the mechanics more. To each their own...

Azwell has huge gaps in 22<>2 and 11<>1 which I don't see people abuse. Also generally whenever he tries to go for a stace switch off of a string you can usually punish him.

His SC is massive though, that's true, try to SC yourself to get him off of you and use GIs like you life depends on it!

Personally the character I'm most scared of right now is Groh: his mixups doing all that damage and being plus on block with SC is just too much for me. And he has a way too easy way in with that sprint or whatever it is.

Learning Ivy is fucking hard! I mean, throughout the history of SC, I knew Ivy is indeed the most difficult character to learn because she just got weird ass combo routes thats tricky to do. But DAYUM are they flashy as fuck!
